Ford has given us a taste of the all-new 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 before its first official appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

A 5.0L V8 (444 hp, 380 lb-ft) rumbles ominously under the hood, dispatching power to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission, complete with a race-inspired clutch and a limited-slip rear differential.

Like the 2012 edition, the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 also features a redesigned suspension borrowed from the Mustang GT, 19” wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires and Brembo brakes.

Style-wise, the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 shares much of the same DNA as the other 2013 Mustangs. The bigger, meaner grille is reminiscent of the Shelby GT500, and a high-gloss black panel connects the taillamps in back.

Finally, the vintage School Bus Yellow paint job and hockey stick graphic with reflective stripes hark back to Ford’s glory days in the 1970s.
